Nov. 9- Dec. 2. $12-$14.

Fall Dance Theatre: Nov. 29-Dec. 9. $12-$14.

Grand Central Art Center

“Un Hombre Que Camina”: Enrique Ramírez’s work combines video, photography, installations and poetic narratives. Ramírez appreciates stories within stories, fictions straddling countries and epochs, the mirages between dream and reality. This Chilean artist, who lives and works in Chile and France, often uses image and sound to construct a profusion of intrigues and to occupy the equilibrium between the poetic and the political. Through Nov. 11.

“None of This is Real”: Through performance, installation, photographic documentation and social practice, artist-in-residence Lucas Murgida creates situations that allow audience members to experience private moments in public situations. His projects address ideas of service, perception, liberation, privacy, power and labor by using his employment — as a professional cabinetmaker, busboy, locksmith, yoga teacher and, most recently, working behind the scenes in the adult film industry — as research to inform his art. Ongoing.

“Yearning to Breathe Free”: Los Angeles artist Nery Gabriel Lemus delves into immigration through the lens of “The New Colossus,” a sonnet written by poet Emma Lazarus in 1883 to raise money for a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. The sonnet depicts a mighty woman who lights the way for refugees and immigrants seeking shelter. Through watercolor paintings, sculptures and rugs, Lemus explores the terrain that immigrants traverse on their journey into the United States – the points of arrival and the beginning of new possible dreams. Through Sept. 16.
